# PhishDestroy threat dossier — ekidesigns.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 12:37:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ekidesigns.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, MalwareURL, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 67.227.199.75 (US, Lansing) ASN: AS32244 Liquid Web, L.L.C Hosting org: SourceDNS Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns.liquidweb.com, ns1.liquidweb.com Registered: 2026-04-06 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-06 15:50:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-06 12:54:40 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:12:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-06 19:45:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d62d4-8224-7208-9599-07e4579c6970/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c1355990-2fb9-4106-8184-eefd467daf11 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ekidesigns.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ekidesigns.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ekidesigns.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ekidesigns.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ekidesigns.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-06 15:56:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ekidesigns.com as a live crypto drainer domain actively circulating in phishing campaigns. This deceptive site masquerades as a legitimate design resource to trick users into connecting crypto wallets under the guise of file downloads or collaboration tools. Once a victim connects their wallet, the drainer silently transfers funds to attacker-controlled addresses. Unlike traditional credential phishing, crypto drainers operate without login pages, exploiting wallet signatures or malicious smart contract interactions to drain assets directly. Security researchers at PhishDestroy have confirmed this domain is part of an ongoing campaign targeting users in the digital design community. Technical analysis confirms elevated risk: VirusTotal shows 0/95 endpoint detections, indicating evasion of most antivirus engines, while Google Safe Browsing lists the domain under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on January 29, 2013, the domain has been active for over a decade before being weaponized. It resolves to IP 67.227.199.75 and is currently blocked by three major threat intelligence platforms: PhishingDB, OISD, and InversionDNS. Despite its age, the domain was recently repurposed for malicious intent, highlighting the abuse of long-standing domains in phishing campaigns. Users who visited ekidesigns.com should immediately disconnect their crypto wallet. Do not approve any pending transaction requests or sign messages from unknown sites. Clear browser cache and disable extensions temporarily. If any funds were stolen, file a report with local law enforcement and your wallet provider. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for verification and community protection. Always verify URLs via official sources before engaging with any online service—especially those asking for wallet connections. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260406-7C80C8 Favicon MD5: 25b44ef951dd08d23de385506721072e ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ekidesigns.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ekidesigns.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
